Lawn Care
Mowing, edging, fertilization, and aeration. The basics, done on a schedule.
Lawn care is the simplest part of what we do, but it's the part most companies do worst. Wrong cut height, dull blades, edging into tree roots, fertilizer applied at the wrong time of year. None of that is hard to avoid; it just requires paying attention.
Standard visit
- Mow at the correct height for the grass type (most tall fescue should be cut at 2.5–3 inches in San Diego — never lower)
- Edge cleanly along hardscape, no string-trimming into trunks
- Blow off pavers, walks, driveway
- Visual irrigation check on every visit
Seasonal extras
- Spring: aeration + slow-release fertilization
- Summer: irrigation tune, deep watering schedule
- Fall: overseed for cool-season blends, second fertilization
- Winter: aerate, thatch if needed, dormant prune nearby trees
Common Questions
Lawn Care — FAQ
How often should the lawn be cut?
In growing season, weekly. In winter slow-down, every other week. We adjust each visit to growth, not the calendar.

How much should I pay for landscaping maintenance in Coronado?
Lawn care and landscape maintenance in Coronado is priced by lot size, visit frequency, and how much bed work comes with the mowing. A small island lot on a weekly mow, edge, and blow schedule sits at the low end. Beds, hedging, and irrigation checks move it up.
We do not quote off a map. Sam walks it.
A yard on 1st St with crown-jewel beds facing full afternoon sun off the bay needs a different visit than a shaded courtyard. The beds drive the labor, not the turf.
What weekly lawn care on a Coronado lot actually covers
Mow, edge, blow. Then the parts nobody lists.
We check irrigation heads on every visit because salt air corrodes them quietly, and a pitted head throws a dry arc that browns a bed weeks before anyone notices the system is the problem. Brass and stainless hold up out here. The plated hardware does not.
On the older lots off B Ave, C Ave, and J Ave the hedging is its own job. Mature trees and period-correct hedge expectations mean we cut to a height the design review board already accepts, and many Coronado HOAs hold a 42-inch line on street-facing hedges.
We haul clippings off the lot. Tight side yards mean that moves by wheelbarrow, and it is part of why maintenance on an island lot is not priced like an inland one.
Why the same crew every visit matters
Samuel Fortes walks every property. He drew most of these beds, planted them, and comes back to prune them.
That is the whole reason maintenance works here. Somebody who knows a plant went in for a specific exposure will not shear it into a shape it cannot recover from. Most of our work comes from neighbors who watched Sam tend somebody else's yard for a few seasons.
